Oh my god.
Somebody please tell me what kind of animal this is. Because I need to have it. And feed it. I have a suspicion that this particular breed stores all of it's fat reserves in it's cheeks, and that is endlessly fascinating for me.
Particularly since we have a dog that hoards calories in it's ass. Please, someone who knows me and my dog--vouch for this fact in the comments section. I'm thinking the bizarre fat reserves of animals *might* be an obsession of mine.
Mike believes this creature to be a mouse. I'm skeptical, as I don't recall mice having the fullness of face/squatty little body of this critter. Also, how in the hell would this thing be able to fit its head through those cute little mouse doors you see in cartoons? I don't buy it.
Look again, go ahead. It's a face with feet! I mean, if it could just fatten it's ears up a tad, it would be circular, and that is odd!
But then again, I suppose that I do like oddities of the animal persuasion.
FYI, this picture comes from this AMAZING site--click here for the link. This furry creature that I will affectionately refer to as "fat head" gets my vote. Be warned, however--these pictures will make you want to place baby animals in compromising positions that include a variety of dishes and cups.

I think my Z wanted one of these too...I think they are something like a Siberian mouse( so cold there they must store fat in their head because to stay warm they run around and have buns of steel)
I'll vouch, Bailey is an LA dog with an Oakland booty!
I believe it could be a hamster... I've seen all types and they do this very thing. They fill their cheeks with food and save it for later. Pretty smart huh?
ps... the hamsters... not me.
ok, i am laughing so hard i am tearing up - i want one too - a fat furry head with feet
